Sassy. Classy. Lazy? No. Different Color Hair and a bit of Repo!

What a beautiful weekend!! And busy!! I feel like I’ve been pretty much non-stop for the last few weeks, next weekend I’m going to make a clause that says I don’t have to get out of my pjs and go anywhere for like a whole day, just a day I’m not asking the whole weekend, just a day all to me and being lazy. BUT! I did get a lot done this lovely Labor Day weekend and I saw many people. Lets see…

My dad had surgery 2 weeks ago and went home but didn’t really feel right and my Blondie took him back in on Friday and he ended up having to have another surgery. So I’ve been spending mucho time at hospital waiting rooms and what not, but at least I got to catch up on some trashy magazines and I now have a good idea of Good House Keeping…. Monkey and I both got home really late on Friday even me at hospital and he at work, both didn’t feel like cooking, but were starving so Monkey peeled me off of the couch and announced, “we’re going to Wendy’s” While waiting in the drive thru, I came up with the word sauce-ial, because I needed honey mustard for my sauce-ial needs. So in our half asleep ness sauce-ial became the “it” word of the night. Priceless.

Saturday got to go have dinner with the family super tasty and lots of fun, asked more questions about wedding, I really wish I had more to tell them, But we do know that we really want a huge party and I have the dress, flowers ... yadda yadda yadda, just need a date.  Went grocery shopping and got away with only spending 70 bucks! But then went home and figured out that I had forgotten a ton of stuff… on to laundry that has been piling up!

Sunday! Got up and went shopping with JustAnUglyMonkey for new jeans, saw him off to work then back out again to finish grocery shopping. Pick up candle orders drop off candle orders. More laundry! Wash dishes we have no plates or cups …. Probably a good time to do that. Watch Repo Men (I loved Repo the Genetic Opera, and feel like this was a cheap knock off.) Get ready go over to Mom and Dad Monkey’s house say hi and jet off to our friends for the evening. Ended up watching Camp Rock 1 & 2, I have now developed a slight crush on the Jonas Brothers.

This is what my boys do...

Monday, Monday, I wish all Mondays were like you, woke up around 10-ish. Made some coffee, started more laundry, unloaded dishwasher, took out trash, and laid on the couch. Ahhhh. Monkey came home from mowing and we watched Terminator Salvation and took a nap, I woke up and watched The Backup Plan. It was cute. Monkey went off to work and I got dressed and went over to my aunt’s house and me and 2 other ladies peeled pears and apples for canning and freezing. It was fun! I get to do it every year the fruit was from my mom and dad’s house, but I helped my aunt out since she had picked about hundred pounds of apples and 80 some pounds of pears. Oh and the pears are soo sweet! That was a ton of fun, we kept shooting apple cores out of the crank machines calling it, “Apple Core Wars!” and we were covered in apple juice, water and lemon, we called it an Organic Apple Water bath and decided after the blisters wore off that it would be really good for our skin. Most of the apples were perfect and beautiful, but you get a few icky ones…

And with the changing of the colors for fall, my favorite season, so I then decided to change colors, I’m a dark, dark brunette now ahhha yes, it had nothing to do with hiding all of that gray…. Lol.

This week I look forward to a nice short week, some fun work lunches, Beauty and the Beast in the evenings while I clean out my closet. And Georgia on Thursday!!!

On a very bright note an amazing co-worker and friend of mine has gotten engaged and she has a most beautiful ring! It’s main diamond is a pear shaped, which you don’t see very often now days, but it is a very nice piece I must say! I got curious as to what if any the different cut meanings were and by gosh I found out! And drum roll please here is what one site says about pears. Pear Cut: The elongated pear shape shows a woman to be an individual, yet she still has a soft side for traditional romance. She may be a trend-setter with this unusual shape, though the teardrop shape may also be a prelude to tears or sorrow or tears of joy. 

I say only tears of joy J

Love,

Amanda
